Yesterday, after a 2 hour bus ride to the port of Achillion, in the Pagasitic Gulf (this is where the argonauts set sail in search of the golden fleece), we went on a short cruise to Skiathos Island. The entire day was extraordinary.
Skiathos
Port was a very interesting place to visit. The church, the old
harbour, the white and blue houses and the narrow streets gave a very
nice feel to the place. It was livable, as in the kind of place I
wouldn't mind spending more than a few days in.
After our short visit of the city we sailed north to Koukounaries beach
where the crystal clear waters of the Aegean made a perfect snorkeling
spot.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of the entire day was
captain Kostas and his crew. With the cruise-ship sea battles and
races, the onboard Sirtaki lessons, and the general entertaining
attitude they created a very fun, albeit short, cruise experience. On
the boat I said that captain Kostas is probably a guy whom his father
really wanted to become a sailor, while he himself prefered dancing.
I'm really glad he finally became a sailor and didn't give up on the
dancing either.
When we sailed back into the home port, the captain, his wife and their
many children put on one final dancing show for us. It was really,
really fun... all of it!
Although I understand the show isn't always as spectacular as it was yesterday, Elisabet Cruises is definitely a place where people know what tourist entertainement is about.
